    Hi,
    I am thinking about turning my SMF forum into a revenue sharing forum using the new mod. But I have a few concerns concerning click fraud. I know your adds arn't shown when you are online, same for other members too But what is to stop other members going on other computers/not logging in, and then clicking on their adds alot. This concerns me as I know the publisher id is alterneted, could this result in u getting your account banned?
    Thanks
    Alisha

    Install some php code that only shows adense ads to a user for a certain number of times. After that show some CPM banners or something.

    Really the chances of getting clickbombed are the same on a revenue sharing forum as a normal site - virtually nil.

    yeh i know it's rare, but one of the big revenue sharing forums (similar to mylot) recently got shut down due to click fraud! Don't want to lose my ID.
